Smoky Night


It was a smoky night
Full moon red in the sky
No stars or Milky Way
In the distance Urban glow
In a single sleeping bag
A team of 2 ragtag
Me & you

We walked a mile in our shoes
We found a spot
Behind some trees off trail
To kiss & touch without worry
We might be seen or judged
Bullied or bashed
Under a milky sky
A team of 2 ragtag
In a single sleeping bag

The tent is wind & water proof
The canopy the ceiling the roof
The birds now slumber
The bees in their hives
Crickets chirp a mating call
Lightning bugs are charlatan stars

We take turns slow telling
Tall tales as whispers in the ear
About how our fears
Are like horror movies
Scary & funny & suspenseful

Hold me tight in a sleeping bag
Until first light if brave enough
The 2 of us ragtag 
The tent is right there
We like danger
But not that much

Smoky night Full moon red
A team of 2 ragtag
In a single sleeping bag
Me & you make love in the forest.

We won't be a secret anymore

Our gay love is a secret Paradoxically There are no secrets between us Not supposed to be The more fiercely hidden The more outrageous are The chances we take We've taken some big ones As if we want to get caught We do. Don't we? The bigger the secret The more it seeks exposure At first it hides in the closet Then it hikes the forest Where no one can see us Then it strolls in the park Then lunch at a busy restaurant Holding hands in public Who we are is a secret But our gay love is obvious We may be on the down low I think everybody knows Our love is for the ages There are no secrets between us And one day We won't be a secret  You won't feel shame or guilt After taking all those chances Instead pride & hope will fill your heart We have no secrets between us And some day  We won't be a secret anymore. Theme Song for this Poem "Ready to Take a Chance again" Barry Manilow Foul Play 1978

Looking For Someone

Image
I'm looking for someone somewhere gay Not just anybody  I'm looking for you Someone who Will tell me the dreaded truth Even when it Hurts like an abscessed tooth  While it makes me cry Break it down slow & easy  Decorum mixed with sleazy  Slang hanging with S.A.T. words Wow! Kapow! You know how  It's what I'm looking for  Dynamited to the core Washed up on the rocky shore  Dry me off. Give me sunburn  Someone whose head will turn When I toss a lustful look I throw a playful kiss You catch it with your lips Cruising for someone somewhere gay I'm not just looking  I'm looking for you. ************* Theme Song for this Poem  Somebody Just Like You -- Teena Marie
